Default Bilateral surgery with Dr. Freischlag

Hi pdomingu-

My girlfriend will be having surgery soon with Dr. Freischlag for arterial TOS on her right side. Her left side has pain symptoms that have increased until lately the symptoms are as bad as her right side, but the test result only show vascular/arterial compression on her right side (so far?).

I wanted to ask what your decision process was like with Dr. Freischlag about whether to go ahead with the second surgery? I think we will be in that position before too long and I am interested in your experience.

Thanks very much,
Dave

Still requires some PT and continuing exercises, but that is standard. Her blood flow is remarkably improved. We too had seen many docs before going to Dr. Freischlag. The sooner the resection is done (after a thrombosis appears) the more effective the surgery.
